Kevin Eggers' response to the local communitarian supporter of LA21 came out in the paper today, I followed the link from my Statcounter because somebody from GWU took that link to my website. Hmmm. Wonder if our GWU reader is one of the commenters. Kevin wrote a very understandable rebuttal, but most of the the responses are typical communitarian preschool logic. One commenter is so confused he thinks communitarian law will fix the problems with NAFTA! And they just can't resist petty name calling, it must be taught at the highest academic levels these days. Of course I'm not an "expert" on this topic... I'm "crazy". I made up the theory and I made it "vague" so I can use it to oppose any government action I don't like.
It's almost unbelievable that there are still people who claim communitarianism doesn't exist! Are people really that ignorant or are these comments coming from Etzioni's trolls?

"Typical communitarian preschool logic." Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe Constitution and Bill of Rights give us our Individual Rights - so the western governments in USA and Britain have introduced Human Rights to undermine and replace Individual Rights but will then say Human Rights have to be balanced against the Rights of the Community. The spokes-people for the community are the "stake holders," trained with NLP by Common Purpose to tow the government line. This appears now to be spreading across the old British Empire to all countries that based also their government and legal systems on England's, eg. India. www.flickr.com/photos/commonpurpose/sets/72157624601972574/
